Bug in DivX decoder? Advanced Hardware Overlay ruins video

Here's how the video looks like when AHO is used: The jaggies and the shaking disappear if I disable AHO. Is this a known problem? Is there a solution? Because it seems necessary to view anamorphic encodes correctly.

@DJ Bobo Hi! Is the software in your signature ("Lancer") freeware?

I don't know what that option is supposed to do, but if the DivX Decoder fails, I'd simply use ffdshow instead ;)

I'd like too, but I have some older DivX 5 encodes that won't play right unless I use the DivX decoder.

This is using the DivX 7 decoder (which is the same as the latest DivX 6, isn't it?)

Try what? Did you?

I tried a lot of options, none helped. After much testing, I found that the DivX 5 decoder is the only one that plays correctly absolutely everything I throw at it, and anamorphic encodes get displayed correctly with it too. I'll stick with it until DivX fixes this AHO thing. For those interested, a decoder-only version of DivX 5.1.1.
